"To A File": As an XML file that can be used e.g. to transport a setting from one machine to
another or even to use the settings configured for one platform on another (Windows <->
Linux).
•
During the startup of a device, all these setting possibilities show different behaviors. The
differences are described in chapter
Settings behaviour during startup
Restoring of settings previously stored works in a similar way. After a device has been opened the
settings will be loaded automatically as described in
Settings behaviour during startup
However, at runtime the user can decide to
explicitly load the device family specific settings stored on this machine (in e.g. wxPropView
select in the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From The Default Settings
Location For This Devices Family (Per User Only)")
•
explicitly load the product specific settings stored on this machine (in e.g. wxPropView select
in the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From The Default Settings
Location For This Devices Family And Product Type)")
•
explicitly load the device specific settings stored on this machine (in e.g. wxPropView select
in the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From The Default Settings
Location For This Device(Serial Number)")
•
explicitly load device family specific settings from a XML file previously created in e.g.
wxPropView select in the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From A File"

Warning:
Since mvIMPACT Acquire 2.9.0 and again in version 2.11.0 storing and loading of camera

Note:
For devices operated in the dilGenICam interface layout further restriction apply: Settings
created with a certain product type can only be used with other devices belonging to the
exact same type as defined by the property Product inside the device list (the one device
specific property list that is accessible without initialising the device before). Even if a setting
can be used with various firmware versions it is recommended to use one setting for multiple
